Feeling chilly this winter? The truffle growers of Canberra aren't complaining - it is the perfect weather for growing the prized Black Truffle around the region. Canberra has the same climatic conditions as the truffle growing regions in France, so each winter Canberra holds the Truffle Festival from the start of June to the end of August to celebrate. The lineup of events for 2017 is even bigger and better with truffle hunts with dogs to sniff out the truffles, truffle dinners at Canberra's most popular restaurants, truffle beer to try at BentSpoke Brewery, truffle cooking classes and demonstrations, truffle-infused food and wine, truffle products to buy and truffle degustation events.

See the Truffle Festival website for three months of exciting events around the region.
